Diseqc 1.2 allows you to move the motor and store a satellite. USALS (Disec 1.3) automatically goes to a satellite (after you put your latitude & longitude in).

DVB Boxes cannot pick up Digicipher II channels

There are some channels that show on Lyngsat and they say "Digicipher II". DVB boxes (the ones we use) cannot pick those up.

Tip for June 16

Always make sure your mast is plumb & level. If adding a motor & dish, make sure to recheck once they are installed

just because its plumb when you moun the mast, it may not be once you add ther weight of the motor & dish

When using the Invacom Quad, you DO NOT need to hook all 4 outputs into a 4x1 switch for one reciever. You only need one "L" and one "C" output.

Most DVB boxes cannot view HD or 4:2:2 feeds. Most PC cards can view these feeds

There is a DVB receiver called Quali-TV 1080 that does do 4:2:2 but it runs about 700 dollars.

To get optimum signal, you may have to adjust the LNB by pushing the LNB in the holder towards the dish

Normally you should put the LNB as far back in the holder, but some signals you may have to push it in towards the dish. I had to do this with my C-band dish

When looking at Lyngsat, the left column has the frequency. If it is 4 digits, then it is C-band (need a 6 foot or larger dish). 5 digit frequencies are KU band
